The FBI Director stated that the operation in Ghana has identified nearly US$10 million in losses and 89 victims. Over 130 individuals were arrested or detained, and more than 300 devices were seized. According to the FBI, some of those detained are believed to be victims of trafficking and will be repatriated. The FBI has not disclosed the identities of those arrested, the locations of the operations, or the specific Ghanaian institutions involved. It remains unclear if those arrested will face prosecution in Ghana or extradition to the United States. The Ghana operation is part of a global FBI initiative targeting scam compounds that defraud Americans. The FBI Director indicated that the investigation is ongoing and suggested further actions are forthcoming.
